Job well done.

Bravo, Glenn Beck. Look upon the seeds you have sown:

After ‘hate-crime’ melee, calm eludes Quaker school
Guilford College tries to reaffirm its values after an
alleged attack on three Palestinian students.
By Alexandra Marks | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Like the banners condemning hate and the chalked peace signs on sidewalks, the makeshift scarecrow that stands on the tree-lined Guilford College campus is a testament to the trauma gripping this small Quaker school, as well its determination to heal.

With a mop for hair and a cardboard-box face, the scarecrow wears a sign inviting students to “Write the definition of community.” Pinned to the corkboard hanging around its neck are scraps of paper with words like “Tolerance,” “Accepting of all,” and “Well-being.”

The community scarecrow, as it’s called, was erected last week by students after at least five members of the school’s football team were accused of attacking three Palestinian students. According to court documents, the players allegedly beat the students with feet, fists, and brass knuckles, while calling them “terrorists” and racial epithets.

    What’s really tough to think about: Beck is paid to spew his hate and encourage others to do the same.

    This makes me sick. The irrational hatred that permeates throughout this country is disgusting. Glenn Beck is a national disgrace. People like him are trying to make racism and bigotry a mainstream value. I would say fascist is a good descriptor.

    While I am the first to support anyone’s right to free speech one has to wonder what a proper definition of “free speech” entails. Glenn Beck’s overt racism and bigotry on the public airwaves seems to stretch the definition quite thin. Screaming fire in a crowded theater ought to carry some ownership for the results.

    It’s hard to remain hopeful about the future for the human race when I read stories like this daily.
